Fate

Chapter Three: John

I sit with my older brother in our dads office, Alpha King Conner, why am I here? I don't know, I will not be alpha king that will be Josh not me. I watch as my dad write a letter to the witch kingdom, he was still trying to understand, why the war between the vampires and witches even happened. After all they used to be close. Josh had a friend there said something about her name being Rebecca or something. The way he talked about her you'd think he had a childhood crush, even if he was waiting for his mate.

I was six when the war happened eight years ago, so I didn't have the privilege of traveling eight years ago. So I never met anyone from the witch kingdom. Dad said that there were a few wolfs who lived there because they had mates there. Alfred, my dad's closest friend back way before I was born, was one of them. people respected the man, so I was told, I never met him apparently he was sent there for something and found his mate, Astride, a witch who was part of the royal guard. He chose to stay with her there, and soon after also joined the royal guard.

My brother will be tacking over the werewolf kingdom soon, well after he turns eighteen, gets his wolf, and trains to be Alpha king.I stretch my legs as I wait for my dad to be done writing the letter, so I can get out of here. Don't get me rong I do respect my dad, both as my dad and the alpha King, I am also respectful, but since I won't be tacking over and my brother will, I see no reason to be here. I want to travel and find my mate. For now I'll just be a teenager and enjoy the s**t I do.

If I don't find my mate or maybe even if I do, i'll take over as head warrior of my dad's royal guard. Well I guess my brothers when he takes over as alpha king. I look over at my brother, he looks a lot like our dad, even has the black hair and ocean blue eyes. I too look like our dad, but I don't have his hair, instead I have our mom's light brown hair. I turn back to dad just as he slips the letter into an envelope, and Josh speaks up before I can. "So, has anyone said anything about the war or your friend Alfred?"

My dad sighs. "Sadly Alfed along with his wife and her sister, died eight years ago, when the war first started." He speaks softer than I have ever heard him speak, and I feel sorry for my dad and Alfred's daughter. I hadn't known the man, but he sounded like a good man. "What about his daughter and wife's sister's two kids?" Josh asks, I know that Rebecca was his friend, and that she was Alfred's wife's sister's daughter, and that her dad passed away berofre her little brother, Alex, I think the kids name is, was even born.

Josh goes on, "She was only five when the war first started and so was Alex, Rebecca was eight so...." He trails off, Yeah he had it bad still for that girl Rebecca, wonder if she is or was is mate. My dad shakes his head and sighs, "They along with a few others did not get killed, but were bitten and tacken. I know that they are not allowed to learn combat, but are allowed schooling. They are also not allowed to leave the borders, so they can't leave the kingdom."

I listen and finally decide to speak up, "If your friends daughter was turned wouldn't she be dangerous to our kingdom and the vampire kingdom, especially if and when she gets her wolf and witch powers?" I ask and Josh glares at me, I don't care because someone has to think logically. "I mean think about it dad, she might hold anger and contentment towards us and the vampires, since our kingdom couldn't help or get involved in the war; because of our own treatys with both kingdoms."

I watch my dad as he takes in my words and nods. "You are right son, but I have already thought about this and have been told that even after what happened, yes she does hate some vampires, but not all and she holds no wolf a fault either." I watch him stand and walk to the window as he looks out, I stand. "How can we be sure that your resources are even telling the truth?" I ask, and Josh bolts up, "John!"

My dad shakes his head, "Because I know I can trust them. Do you think I could be alpha king, if I didn't know who I could trust?" "No." I bow my head. "Good, then we are in agreement. Also while we are on the topic, I am going to make a meeting with the vampire king. To see if I can get Alfred's daughter and her two cousins out of there. When or if I can is uncertain."

I gape at my dad, "You want to bring her here?" I ask and he nods. "Yes, she will need help with her powers and so will the others. However, she will also need help when it is her time to shift." I couldn't argue with him, but I don't think I can trust this girl yet either. Anger makes people do things that they normally wouldn't even think about. I just nod and sigh, "If that's all may I be excused then?" I ask him and he nods. "You may go, Josh you stay."

I turn and leave the office, and walk to the pack kitchen where I see my sisters, Addison and Adeline. They are twins and a year younger than me, thirteen. I am fourteen. They look like our mom with their light brown hair and hazel eyes. I walk over and ruffle Afeline's hair then Addison's, they grumble and swat my hands away. "What are you two devils doing?" I ask just as mom walks in and checks the oven. "They are helping me cook lunch for the pack today so the staff can have a break for once." I nod, I get it, helping out and doing right always makes people feel better.

Soon they have lunch ready and the pack comes to the pack dining area to eat. After lunch I head out to the training grounds to train. Fighting was something I enjoyed and loved doing. I was one of the best even for my age, of course aside from my dad and brother, as is expected for the Alpha king and future Alpha king. I spar with the warriors as they each take turns to fight me, some even them up against me. I love the feeling you get, the adrinaline rush you get from the fighting.

I always get lost in the feeling and my thoughts that come with the territory, it's what makes me the best combat fighter. You might think I'm just an egotistic teenager, but I know my strengths and weaknesses. I end up training until dark, then I go shower and go to bed. My mind on my dad's friend's daughter. Is she dangerous? Is she a threat? Why do I even care how she is? I don't even know her, should I judge her so quickly? The thoughts, doubtes, and questions swarm my head as I toss and turn all night.
